Hi guys,

I have missed this thread, but I must comment.

Four years prior to my Whipple, in 1986, I got almost full dentures. Yes, gum

disease, and a long history of teeth problems and all that with good frequent

dental care. In the subsequent 22 years, I have had almost no problems and

deal with all aspects of life easily with dentures. The secret is to get a good

fit from a good dentist. It's not a cheap or short journey but overall not too

bad.

Chronic Panc. does cause a problem though, as it happens and the hydration

varies and the weight goes up and down, and the body fat melts, the fit can

vary. That is a problem.

But try to keep the hydration up and the weight up and all returns to normal.

A great dentist is a good assistant with this problem.

As for teeth, sometimes it's time to admit the battle is over and it's time

to try to adopt another tactic.

Best Wishes to all. Poncho - GA
